Has it always been like this? Purely drama? Or has there been some active Pokemon playing too?
Don't take me too literally lol. We've been in the same community for more than 5 years, and changed forums twice, due to admin inactivity and due to the second forum, Ludicom, being shut down prematurely.
We used to all play Pokemon, trading and battling is what once brought us together. We must have been 10 times more in numbers back in the day. We had a lot of spriters, active Roleplays, Pokemon shops... we had our forum currency, and all was for the best. But then things happened.
You'll notice that in here, we consider scratches like gaping wounds, and a disagreement as betrayal. We're all friends here, but as we overreact to anything, we spend half our time not talking to one-another, until we realize that the argument was stupid in the first place.
Over and over and over again.
This makes us pretty interesting and funny actually, and don't get me wrong, we often have great conversations together.
I realize that I've spent the quarter of my life with this community, and honestly I wouldn't trade it with any other.
Our biggest problem is that we scare new members I guess xD
